2016 Fall Racing – Client Accomplishments:

Jerry is training to be a dive master/diving instructor in Bali this winter. His first week: “This has been one exhausting week. Diving 2 to 3 hours a day 6 days a week. Working 12 hour days – all physical work. Pretty much like being at the gym for hours on end. My fellow interns are in their early 20s. I could not keep up with the 20 somethings if not for your training sessions with me.” By the way, Jerry is 70 years old! Way to go Jerry!

An April update – Jerry achieved Master Diver and Dive Master (Instructor) certification. Jerry is the oldest to attempt this qualification by over ten years. Jerry said “Can’t thank YOU enough for keeping me focused through all of your training. Could not have done this without all the help you gave me to get ready for the physical challenges associated with both of those certs. THANKS COACH !!!!!”

Jerry completed the Naperville Half Marathon, his first Half Marathon at age 70! Jerry said “thank you for everything – you are a great coach”.
